What happened to Louella Michie at Bestival 2017?

Louella Michie was found dead in woodland at Bestival 2017 after overdosing on party drug 2C-P.

In a statement, Michie's agent said: "Sadly, I can confirm the tragic death of John Michie's daughter, Louella, at Bestival.

"John and his wife Carol ask that the privacy of their family be respected at this traumatic time."

Dorset Police were called to the festival after friends expressed concerns for Louella after she vanished.

Louella's boyfriend Broughton was held on suspicion of murder and supplying a drug. He was later released.

In February 2018, Broughton was re-arrested and charged with manslaughter.

Senior investigating officer Neil Devoto said: "Following a detailed investigation, we have consulted with the Crown Prosecution Service, which has this evening authorised a charge of manslaughter.

"Louella's family has been updated with this development and our thoughts remain with them at this very difficult time."

John Montague, Senior District Crown Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service in Wessex, confirmed Broughton has been charged.

He said: "Following a careful review of the evidence provided to me by Dorset Police I have today authorised the charge of Ceon Broughton with an offence of manslaughter by gross negligence, following the death of Louella Fletcher-Mitchie on September 11, 2017, at Bestival."
